5.13s would give you loads of grunt! Lol

 

The 360 has 113,000 Miles on it. Sure I'd be willing to sell it. PM me and I'll give you my number if you're interested.

I absolutely will be regearing it, but at the same time as when I change out the diffs for air lockers. 5.13's would be a little crazy right now as I do see the express way quite often, but it'd be good in the long run as when the time comes to get another truck in a few years, this one will become a full blown mudder. (Ideally as big as possible while maintaining the ability to legally drive it on public roads) First and foremost though I have to fabricate bracketing to accept a york style A/C compressor (Specifically because it doesn't rely on refrigerant for lubrication) to convert to an air compressor and a stainless air storage tank. It'll operate the lockers along with act as utility air.

BTW, I dragged the 5.9 up along side of the 8.0 and sure enough "HeyYou" was right. Completely different flange for the transmission bell housing. I have no choice but to find an A-618/47-RE I'll be calling the auto parts store I work at on the weekends and see if their salvage line has anything. I checked retail on a reman and it's $1400 - $2500 w/ a $600 core.

 

At one time, there was a thread that had detailed diagrams for brackets to mount the york compressor on the dodges... think they were for V-8's though.....

 

Oh, very cool! There's a blank spot on the right side of the V-10, not sure what it should have been for, but it looks like it's never had anything there. I'm going to try to utilize that spot.

 

sent ya a pm pete

 

if you are going to do air lockers and dont use your ac you can use that as a air comp pump and run it up to 4.5 cfm for a 10 gallon tank

 

I'm not using my A/C compressor. I'm using a York compressor that was originally used for A/C but because it's got it's own lubrication system it can be used as an air compressor. I want on board air for utility purposes too. (Fill tires, use air tools, etc.)

BTW, got a quote from Advance, salvage line offers an A-618 for $700 with a warrantee. Reasonable or not?

 

not a bad deal. check your local craigslist too. might be able to snag one up for less.

 

i use my stock ac compressor to run my 3/4 in impact and i have used it for my sand blaster just use an inline oiler it runs great

 

But I like my A/C! lol

I've been looking with no luck, but I'll expand my search across the whole state.
